JNU a victim of vote-bank politics

The JNU dispute continuing for past several days has provided an opportunity to some political parties to consolidate their vote bank and to propagate their political agenda. Hence  are leaving no stone unturned for their political profit and loss over this issue, to humiliate each other, drawing lines between patriotism and treason. In fact it is the bitter truth that from the day Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister of India, the Congress party and a section of Muslims stood against him. Watching the last two years you may not find any issue when Congress and this minority have not opposed Modi. So far as leftists are concerned, the left parties finished almost in the almost entire world were in search of an opportunity to get back their lost base. They are being supported by some anchors and management of electronic channels. Each day they try to take on Modi and his government over any pretext. Today electronic channels have been divided into two camps. Some are opposing openly while others are supporting openly. In this political war, real issues are getting sidelined. What happened in the JNU on the ninth of February? On the ninth of February slogans like Pakistan Zindabad, Kashmir ki Azaadi tak,Hindustan kI Barbadi tak were raised in an assembly held at the JNU. When the students of the JNU along with the outsiders were shouting anti-national slogans Kanhaiya Kumar was also present in this assembly and slogan shouting. So it  is clear that the assembly was held and anti-national slogans were raised in that assembly. Now the question arises whether Kanhaiya raised the slogans or not? Should be he charged with treason or not? Police Commissioner of Delhi Bhim Sain Bassi has repeated many a times that the police have sufficient evidences against Kanhaiya which have been submitted in the court. It will only be adjudged by the fair and scientific investigation whether the video recording is genuine or not. To find this out, Delhi Police are undergoing forensic test of the anti-national slogan tapes and the voice of Kanhaiya Kumar. Claims for Anti-national slogans rised or not raised by Kanhaiya Kumar are being made in several videos viral on social media. Delhi Police claim that besides the video tape the police have 17 witnesses. They have registered their statements against Kanhaiya before the police. Most of them said that Kanhaiya was raising anti-national slogans. This was the part of the programme in which anti-national slogans were raised. Kanhaiya neither prevented the slogan shouting  nor did he walk out of the assembly. Most of the 17 witnesses are from the JNU. But these political parties aren’t in a mood to wait for the judgement of the court and are bent upon proving Kanhaiya innocent. We say that if Kanhaiya has not committed an act of treason and he has been charged forcefully then it is the court which will exonerate him of treason. Our fight is not with the JNU. It’s not so that the JNU is not a great institution yet it has come to the target just for the sake of a handful of students. If the JNU is in the limelight due to bad reasons today, the Government, the university administration and the students of the JNU all are responsible for it. Anti-national activities in the JNU has not occurred for the first time, but such activities continuously happen there on the pretext of freedom of expression. Slogans of dividing India were its peak. Had the action been taken against such activities earlier, we wouldn’t have to see this day. The slogan shouting in the JNU campus against Indira Gandhi in the eighties may be forgotten treating it as political protest, but it can’t be forgotten what happened to the brave soldiers fighting in the Kargil in the year 2000. After the Kargil war was over, an India-Pak Mushaira was organized in the JNU campus. Major KK Sharma and Major LK Sharma of the Army who fought in Kargil with Pakistan reached there to enjoy the mushaira. Both the heroes of Kargil opposed the anti-Indian shayari of a Pak Shayar. Over it the JNU students brutally beat both of them instead. They were admitted to the hospital in half dead condition. The issue was then taken up in the Parliament also and then Defence Minister George Fernandes went to hospital to see the injured majors. But no action was taken due to the protest of student union and teachers. The government also constituted an inquiry committee but was not allowed to enter the JNU. When the entire nation was mourning the death of 76 soldiers by Naxalites in Chhattisgarh in 2010, a party was being arranged in the JNU to celebrate it. Despite the reports published in the press the then UPA Government didn’t bother to take any action. The links of some JNU students with Naxalites were also found and JNU student Hem Mishra was also arrested in Garhchiroli. Police investigations have made it clear that Omar Khalid, the conspirator of organizing the programme for the destruction of India is also a member of DSU like Hem Mishra. Unfortunately some political parties are busy in trying to consolidate their vote banks and advance their political agenda instead of dispraising the activities of some JNU students and saving this great Institution.
